How I Learned Forex With Only a Smartphone and a Dream

By

 




By Yiga Moses — Glow With Yiga

“They told me Forex is for people with laptops and dollars. I proved them wrong with a smartphone and 100% hunger to learn.”

When I first heard about Forex trading, it sounded like something far from my world. Charts, indicators, pips, candlesticks — it felt like another language. But I had two things: curiosity and a dream.

📱 My Tools Were Simple

  • A basic smartphone
  • Free data bundles (sometimes borrowed)
  • My eyes, my brain, and time

I didn’t have a laptop. I didn’t have WiFi. I didn’t even know what a “lot size” was. But I made a decision: “I will learn this thing — even if it takes me months.”

🧠 Step by Step: How I Started Learning Forex

1. I Started with YouTube

I searched “What is Forex trading?” on YouTube. I watched beginner videos every night. Sometimes I didn't understand, but I kept repeating them until I grasped the basics.

2. I Downloaded the MT5 App

I created a demo account on MetaTrader 5 (MT5). I began opening practice trades — losing, learning, testing. It became my daily game, my daily school.

3. I Followed Free Telegram & TikTok Mentors

I joined free groups and channels. I followed smart hustlers who shared tips. I started to recognize chart patterns and real strategies from real experience.

4. I Practiced with Real Discipline

I didn’t jump into live trading. I took 2–3 months just on demo. I wrote down every trade: why I entered, why I exited, what I felt. I was training my mind, not just testing luck.

📈 What Forex Taught Me About Life

  • Patience — Success takes time, both in trades and in life.
  • Risk Management — Never risk everything on one move. This applies to money and decisions.
  • Discipline — No shortcuts. Only practice, strategy, and mindset.

Most people want instant money. But Forex is not magic. It’s a skill. A science. A mindset. And I took time to build it — trade by trade.

🛠️ You Can Start Too — Even With Nothing But a Phone

If you have a smartphone, data, and the will to learn — you can start right now. No excuses. No need for big capital. What you need is:

  • Time to study
  • Focus to avoid fake signals
  • A plan and a journal
  • Faith that your effort will grow

🙌🏽 Final Word from Yiga Moses

I’m not a millionaire — yet. But I am miles ahead of where I started. Why? Because I took the risk to learn a skill that no one around me understood.

You can do the same. Don’t wait to get a laptop. Don’t wait to be rich. Start now. Start smart. And keep growing — trade by trade, lesson by lesson.

How To Become Rich and Another Poor? A Hustler’s Honest Guide

By
Image
   Real talk for young hustlers: the difference between rich and poor is smaller than you think and bigger than you want to admit. This is practical — not theory. Start small. Think big. Choose habits that build wealth. — Glow With Yiga  A Truth I Tell Every Hustler I started with a frying pan and 5,000 UGX saved each day. Some days it felt small. Some days it felt impossible. Yet today I can say this with confidence: being rich or poor is less about luck and more about choices, habits, and the systems you build around your life. This post is for the person who wants to change those choices, for good. The Big Picture — Wealth Is Not Only Money When I say “rich,” I don’t only mean bank balance. Richness includes freedom, options, health, time with family, and the ability to invest. Poverty is not just lack of cash, it’s lack of options and the stress that eats your decisions. So how do some people climb while...

Why Africa Remains Poor: The Harsh Reality and the Way Forward

By
Image
  Poverty in Africa is one of the most discussed topics around the globe. From the dusty rural villages to bustling cities, poverty continues to eat away at the dreams of millions of Africans, slow but sure. But why, despite Africa’s rich resources, culture, and creativity, are so many people still trapped in poverty? 1. Historical Burdens That Still Linger Colonialism stripped Africa of its wealth and left nations divided along artificial borders. Resources were extracted, people were exploited, and after independence, many countries inherited weak institutions and fragile economies. This historical weight still affects African development today. 2. Leadership and Governance Challenges While Africa has had great leaders, corruption and poor governance remain a major challenge. Mismanagement of public funds, lack of accountability, and policies that prioritize personal gain over public service have slowed development. Without strong leadership, even abundant re...

Mobile internet and AI are no longer just for big companies, they can help you grow income too. In Uganda, internet use has soared (from about 6% to 20% of people between 2016 and 2020), and operators are now helping even more Ugandans get smartphones on easy installments. This means anyone with a phone and data can start using smart tools.

By

 Financial freedom is not about having millions in the bank, it’s about creating a life where money works for you instead of you always working for money. In Uganda, across Africa, and everywhere hustlers grind daily, financial freedom is the true dream. It means waking up without fear of bills, providing for family with ease, and building wealth that grows even while you sleep. The journey is not easy, but it is possible. Whether you’re a chapati guy, a boda boda rider, a boutique owner, or an online hustler, the principles remain the same. Let’s break it down. 1. What Is Financial Freedom?

They wake up before the sun. Some push carts. Some ride boda bodas through traffic jams and potholes. Some flip chapatis on street corners, their hands seasoned by fire and hustle. These are the everyday heroes of Uganda , the vendors, the boda riders, the chapati guys, who are silently but powerfully building the new face of our country. The Real Economy Is in the Streets Uganda’s economy doesn’t just run from tall buildings and air-conditioned boardrooms. It runs through the dusty roads of Kisekka, Owino, Katwe, and Nansana. It flows in small notes  500s, 1ks, 2ks  exchanged under umbrellas, from stalls, behind mobile money booths, and chapati stands. These informal workers make up over 60% of Uganda’s workforce .

Don’t Let Fear Stop You — Choose Commitment Over Insecurity

Choose Commitment Over Fear: Unlocking Your True Potential Don’t Let Fear Stop You — Choose Commitment Over Insecurity By Glow With Yiga | Motivation for the Modern Hustler Every great dream starts with a step of courage. Yet, many of us allow fear and insecurity to hold us back from trying new things from starting that business, taking that course, or even chasing an idea we’ve always believed in. But here’s the truth: fear will always exist . The question is, will you let it rule you, or will you commit to your growth despite it? “You always have two choices in life: your commitment or your fear.” 1. Fear Is Natural, But It’s Not a Prison Fear is part of being human. It’s the mind’s way of protecting you from the unknown. But if you let fear dominate, it turns into a prison that locks up your potential. Many people in Uganda and across Africa have big dreams but stay stuck because they fear ...
